One unconventional applicant's journey through the Carlson Full Time MBA program

Hectic

I would say things are in full swing now. In the past week, in addition to class, I've attended a career panel, 2 club kickoffs, 3 company information sessions and one company tour. Today I had my first midterm and I've got another on Tuesday followed by yet another on the 23rd. You can definitely say one thing: even if you take nothing else from an MBA, at least you will come out of it with enhanced time management skills. If you are not on top of your game, you will definitely fall behind. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I won't be having a life this semester.

Midterms in September? Isn't that a bit too early? Wow, good luck on your exams.

I am doing a part-time MBA program, but I agree with you on time-management. Before classes started, I cleaned out my place and axed any trival personal project. Budgeting is another thing that I am very vigilant with because I am footing my tuition.

I went to Rutgers for undergrad as well. The school is known as a public Ivy. Don't know if they still have this program now, but they gave out full scholarships to hs seniors with great profiles. There are all sorts of majors. My one complaint was that the school was too big and it was very easy to get trapped in the system, especially when you are waiting for a refund check!!

I definitely feel getting more attention now from the grad office. But I don't know if that's the way schools are.
